Gas leak measurement is germane to the realisation of goals such as the Global Methane Pledge. Doug Baer of instrumentation expert ABB offers some thoughts on the problem. Originally proposed by the US and EU in September 2021, the Global Methane Pledge will see countries acting to cut methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030. Together, those involved account for almost half of the world’s total methane emissions, presenting massive scope for significant reductions to be achieved.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
